THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION
ON 22.12.2022, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE
FOLLOWING:
WP(C) NO. 42045 OF 2022 3
JUDGMENT
The petitioner states that by a duly constituted selection committee,
she was appointed as Non-Vocational Teacher in History (Junior) in the
Mulavana VHSS & HSS, Anakudy. She states that though Ext.P8 request was
submitted seeking approval of her appointment by the manager as early as
09.06.2022 before the 2nd respondent, no orders have been passed. It is in
the afore circumstances that this writ petition is filed seeking the following
reliefs:
(i) To call for the records leading to Exhibit P7 communication and direct the respondent authorities to take immediate steps to consider and pass orders on the approval of the appointment pending.
(ii) To consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P8 request pending before the 2nd respondent issued by the 5th respondent herein.
2. Heard Sri. Keerthivas Giri, the learned counsel appearing for the
petitioner, and Smt. Nisha Bose, the learned senior Government Pleader.
3. In view of the limited nature of the relief sought, no prejudice
would be caused to the 5th respondent if notice is dispensed with.
4. After having carefully evaluated the contentions raised in this writ
petition, the submissions made across the Bar, and the facts and
circumstances, I am of the view that this writ petition can be disposed of at
the admission stage itself by issuing the following directions:
a) There will be a direction to the 2nd respondent
to take up, consider and pass appropriate orders
on Ext.P8, after affording an opportunity of being
heard, either physically or virtually, to the
petitioner herein or her authorized representative
and the 5th respondent.
b) Orders, as directed above, shall be passed
expeditiously, in any event, within eight weeks
from the date of production of a copy of this
judgment.
c) It would be open to the petitioner to produce a
copy of the writ petition along with the judgment
before the concerned respondent for further
action.
This writ petition is disposed of.
